You may recognise parts of New College - we have regularly featured in films and TV shows, including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again and His Dark Materials.
The college has an exceptionally rich cultural, sporting and musical life. Our award-winning music practice building (the Clore Music Studios), our fantastic sports ground, and our brand new Gradel Quadrangles are all just a few minutes from the main College site.
We realise that the prospect of university can seem a bit overwhelming and we really want all of our students to flourish. Our extensive student support team provides comprehensive academic and personal support; our aim is to make New College feel like a home away from home.

New College is…
'…the perfect balance of tradition and modernity.'
Hannah
'…more than its architecturally striking buildings. It has an unmatched sense of community and college spirit.'
Gabriel
'…a place where you can achieve more than you thought possible, and have fun while doing it.'
Evie
'…sociable. There's always an event to attend, and you can't walk through Holywell Quad without bumping into someone you know and having a chat.'
